Great trip! - Great excursion. Booked online using one of the QR codes that are on the leaflets we picked up during a day out. Really simple and easy to book. Arrived to check in very organised. I will say we went into the town for breakfast so we were there earlier than it said to check in (it says 10:30 but we checked in at around 9 when we got there, went for breakfast and then went back to join the queue for boarding around 10) so got a really good place in the queue to board. Is what it says - fast boat. Took about an hour (sit on the top or under the covers on the way there if you don’t wanna get wet) as we disembarked it was clearly displayed what time the boat would depart. On return we stopped for the swim. They give you the 30 minutes. Provide floaties if you want them. We sat at the front on the way back now you do get splashed so we just stayed in our swim gear until arrival back it Rhodes. But really great service would recommend :)

Fantastic - Pick up from hotel was smooth and on time. Crew were very professional. The captain advised that it would be windy and you might get wet. We got wet and it was a very choppy journey. But the captain said if it was too dangerous he would turn back for everyone’s safety. We made it and it was a perfect day. Couldn’t fault the crew at all. Symi was beautiful and had plenty of time to explore. St George’s bay was stunning and 30 minutes was enough time for a dip to cool down. All in all a fantastic day!

Very pleasant voyage. Fantastic boat that doesn’t make you feel sick with the waves. - We had a great experience from start to finish. We went from Faliraki Harbour and put on a bus for a short trip to deeper water where the boat was anchored. Lovely boat and skips the waves without passengers feeling sick. Very fast journey. Staff very friendly and helpful. On return journey brought back to the Harbour.

A day trip to Symi is highly recommended - Symi is a delightful village, offering charming streets perfect for leisurely exploration. I highly recommend a visit to the Panormitis Sponge Shop, where they provide fascinating insights into sponges, including their various types and textures, and even offer complimentary items with your purchase. Upon arrival at the port, a large number of boats often disembark simultaneously, creating a bustling atmosphere as visitors head to the restaurants. We chose to explore first, eventually discovering a lovely fish market restaurant with approximately an hour and a half remaining before our boat's departure, which resulted in a more tranquil dining experience with attentive service at the Taverna International restaurant. The host kindly offered us complimentary melon after our meal.

Trip to Symi and St george - Went to a cruise trip to Symi island and swim stop at St George bay. First 3 hours in Symi and then 30min swimming stop at St Georges bay. Speed boat was good and fast. Staff were friendly. Symi island was absolutely beautiful with colorful houses and christal clear waters. St. George bay was amazing. Only thing I would personally change is I would add more time on St George and less time in Symi. Personally did not need 3 hours there.

Lovely family day out - We go on this trip every year! It hasn’t changed once. The views, the people and the much needed cool off in the sea is so worth it! I recommend it to anyone I speak to.
